Information designer
We are currently looking for an experienced information designer to help us grow Baryon’s capacity. You will be working together closely with our design and development team to turn the ideas of our clients into reality.
You should be:
- Interested in (learning about) data, charts and maps, and open to continuously learn new data visualization tools and technologies.
- Ready to work in a small team with big ambitions, and willing to take on a considerable amount of responsibility within the company.
Ideally you have a medior or senior profile, with between 5 and 10 years of experience in an information design role. Some experience in project management is a big plus.
Some tools we typically use in our design activities are d3.js, RAWGraphs, Datawrapper and Datylon for the chart creation, and Adobe Illustrator and Figma for the design. Any new tool you can bring to the table is a plus!
You should be fluent in English. Knowledge of Dutch is a big plus.
What will you be doing?
We guide our clients through a 3-step process: analysis, concept design and development. As an information designer, you will be involved in the entire process from the initial meeting with the client up to the final delivery. You will work on concepts for both the static and the interactive components of the infographics, interactive reports, and visual storytelling.
We are a small company with high growth ambitions. That means that we cannot offer you an easy job with a fixed task description. You will play a key role within the company, and be responsible for streamlining, optimizing, growing and managing the information design branch of the company. Be prepared do deal with clients in sales meetings, brainstorms and design presentations. No worries, we are here to help!
What can we offer you?
On top of the job diversity, we can offer you one hell of a ride, with lots of challenging opportunities for learning and growing. The ambition is to grow Baryon into a thriving data design agency in the next few years – and you can play a key role in this process!
Our values are:
- Challenge: we like to tackle complex problems that go beyond the ordinary
- Diversity: a wide variety of perspectives will always lead to the best results
- Transparency: we communicate and visualize things as they are – no fluff
We like happy, spontaneous, ambitious people who are not afraid to speak their mind or to go out of their comfort zone. We will do everything we can to fight discrimination based on age, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, religion, or political preference.
We can offer you a full-time employment with competitive salary (€ 3500 to € 4000 gross monthly salary based on your experience and the value you can bring to the company), smartphone and laptop. Baryon is based in Gentbrugge, Belgium. A lot of the work can be done from home, but we also offer you a coworking spot where you should work with the rest of the team at least 2 to 3 days a week. No worries, we’ll take care of the public transport costs. We’re also happy to provide you with all the trainings, subscriptions or books you might need to expand your expertise.
One more thing...
Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Baryon we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
